Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Swedish gaming operator Unibet, has called on Sweden's politicians to take the initiative and regulate iGaming in order to create new jobs.

Speaking following the publication of the operator’s second quarter results Wednesday, Tjärnström said that with Sweden set to hold a general election in September, he was not bothered about which party won, “as long as they have the best digital agenda.”

“It’s something we are missing from all political parties right now,” he explained. “We think it’s a huge missed opportunity to capture what the online gaming, and wider digital entertainment industry, could provide.”
